Education is a vital process for everyone, it helps people to think, feel, and behave, which contributes to their success. Education is important not just for children but also for the elderly. The increasing proportion of elderlies globally raises the importance of lifelong learning, specifically elder education. Furthermore, the significance of the grandparent-grandchildren relationship increased due to two factors:The number of grand families -the nuclear family living with the grandparents -increased globally by 7.3% (Beltran, 2019), and the average lifespan of people increased. Therefore, multi-generational learning, the learning derived from old and young generation interaction, takes an important role in families and society as a whole. Past studies show that multi-generational education benefits both age groups in various ways. For children, grandparents offer life wisdom, acceptance, love, and positive effects on a child's well-being, whereas for the elderly, having strong connections with the younger generation allows them to be exposed to new ideas and information, especially technology-related knowledge. Based on the research conducted, results show that over 70% of parents and grandparents find a lack in grandparent-grandchildren interaction, reducing the chances of multi-generational learning, whereas the majority of them find indoor toys a good tool to boost grandparents-grandchildren interaction. According to the criteria stated, a toy was specially designed for elders and children to enhance the training skills, boost the entertainment aspect of existing toys, and at the same time increase multi-generational learning and interaction. Based on the feedback from users, possible improvements were identified and modified for future development.
With the rapid development of medical knowledge, more young generations are confirmed to suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, abbreviated as ADHD. Inattentive, hyperactive and impulsivity symptoms are three categories that are signs of ADHD. Fidgeting, interrupting, losing homework, daydreaming are all common signs of ADHD. It affects student learning performance and classroom order. The most effective ADHD treatment is a combination of medication and behavioural therapy. However, there are many side effects of ADHD medication use. Thus, fidget toys, therapeutic devices, and other solutions that make use unconscious repetitive actions to increase their concentration. In this solution, feedback is considered as a helpful tool to let ADHD students concentrate on class and improve their learning effectiveness. Nevertheless, in some cases, other students are attracted to the attention by fidget toys and lose focus on class. Therefore, students are forbidden to bring fidget toys back to school. How to take a good balance between regulations of school and student needs was the problem that we were concerned about. This study aims to help ADHD students to reduce their concentration disorders and anxiety problems and use them with school at the same time. Finally, there was testing to let ADHD patients try the model in reality to evaluate the performance. The experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
